Chris Avellone, a Writer from Fallout: New Vegas, is Working on the New Prey

While rumors were swirling in the days leading up to E3, Bethesda effectively shocked the industry with the announcement of a Prey reboot. After canceling the long-in-development Prey 2, Bethesda regrouped and came out swinging with an all new Prey that’s looking to be an exciting title, and they’ve employed the help of industry veteran Chris Avellone of Fallout: New Vegas fame.

Avellone revealed this on his Twitter account, via the tweet seen below. However, he neglected to state exactly what his role in this new title is; with a wide-spanning resume including level designer, creative director, and narrative writer, there’s no guarantee that he will be penning the story as he did for Fallout: New Vegas.

After the long, tumultuous development of the now-canceledPrey 2, it’s exciting to see Bethesda taking the series down a new path, this time with the help of Arkane Studios. Are you excited for the Prey? Sound off in the comments.

What's up Gamnesia readers,
Name's Ethan. I like to make things up. It's my trade, my passion, and my lifeblood. I'm open to talk about any and all topics of discussion, should any of you care to engage me. Everything is fair game. Except the How I Met Your Mother finale. I'll talk about the Middle East, but I won't talk about that.
And with that, I'll leave you with a quote from my favorite television series, Californication --
Rome is burning, he said, as he poured himself another drink. Yet, here I am knee deep in a river of p*****. Here it comes, she thought. Another self indulgent, whiskey soaked, diatribe about how f****** great everything was in the past. And how all us poor souls born too late to see the Stones at - wherever, or snort the good coke that they had at Studio 54 - well, we all just missed out on practically everything worth living for. And the worst part was, she agreed with him. Here we are, she thought, at the edge of the world - the very edge of western civilization and all of us are so desperate to feel something... anything... that we keep falling into each other and f****** our way toward the end of days.
Cheers, fellow gamers. Long live Nintendo.
